Why is "Tendres de poulet legerement epices" classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines reconstituted chicken fillet with water, soy protein, dextrose, wheat fiber, salt, natural pepper flavour, other natural flavours, and a breadcrumb coating that includes wheat flour, wheat gluten, wheat starch, rice flour, yeast, yeast extract, garlic powder, onion powder, spices, fennel extract, dextrose, sugar, and whole‑milk powder, all fried in sunflower oil. This complex mix of processed ingredients, flavourings and added sugars places it in the NOVA 4 ultra‑processed category.

How does the salt content in this product affect a hypertensive diet?

The product provides 1.29 g of salt per 100 g, which is about 40 % of the recommended daily maximum of 5 g. Although lower than the category average of 3.21 g per 100 g, regular consumption can still add noticeably to total sodium intake, so people with high blood pressure should limit portion size and balance it with low‑salt foods.

Is the soy protein in this product a concern for people with soy allergy?

Yes. Soy protein is listed among the ingredients (approximately 4.5 % of the product) and soy is highlighted as an allergen; individuals with a soy allergy should avoid this product.
